If you are considering installing parquets (a type of wood) as flooring in your home or office building, you may have been hearing about the question, “Is parquet flooring waterproof?” You may have also been confronted with a wide array of choices when it comes to choosing between Squared Parquet Flooring and solid wood floors. Are parquets really an option when it comes to selecting flooring for an apartment? Is parquets truly a better choice than solid wood floors? Is parquets the only option when it comes to installing a new parquet floor in a house, building, or remodeling? The answers to these questions can depend upon several factors, including the area of the house and the amount of moisture and water that will be found there.
Parquets are no more waterproof than a traditional wood floor!
Both parquet wood floors and solid hardwood floors can be very waterproof to very small amounts of liquid spillover or water. But, like any other type of flooring surface, parquets are no more waterproof than a traditional wood floor. It’s not recommended to install a parquet floor in places with plenty of water, such as a bathroom, kitchen, or utility room. Also, you should never install water-resistant tiles on top of a wet parquet floor.
Is parquet concrete a better choice than regular concrete?
Yes, in most cases. Because concrete, unlike parquets, is a type of non-porous, waterproof floor. However, it does not offer the same amount of insulation or durability compared to other types of floor.
Is parquets truly energy efficient?
Yes, they are more energy-efficient than the regular concrete floor. However, you should only install them in rooms with water leaks or where water seeps into the ground through a pipe. Water will absorb into the concrete, causing the area to become hot and damp, which can make your house uncomfortable.
Is parquet flooring maintenance free?
Yes, there is no need for annual cleaning or a professional repair. But, you should wipe your floor every few weeks to remove excess dirt or watermarks and to make sure it is properly installed. You can also use cleaning products to help keep your floor clean without harmful chemicals. If there is something special on your floor, such as parquet patterns, you may want to ask the manufacturer about the proper cleaning instructions.
What if I accidentally spill a water bottle on my parquet floor?
Easy! You can place absorbent socks or towels underneath the legs of your furniture. You can also place an absorbent sock in the drain holes in your bathroom and kitchen sinks. You can also buy water-absorbent mats at most hardware stores. In the unfortunate event that you do spill something, be sure not to scrub at the spilled area because this could cause scratches on your parquet floor.
Is parquet flooring resistant to mold and mildew?
This type of issue is common in homes with a large number of people. Mildew can grow on parquet floors if they are not cleaned regularly. It is possible to spot clean your parquet floor but you might find it necessary to hire a professional to take care of any mold or mildew issues. Most companies that sell waterproofing products will be able to assist you in keeping your parquet floor dry and mold-free.
Can parquets be cleaned with regular house cleaning products?
Yes, some types of Squared Parquet Flooring can easily be cleaned with regular house cleaning products. Be sure to follow all directions carefully and do not use excessive amounts of product.
